The Highlight of My Night

The focus, this time, is on the starbust erupting from the glass and landing in inky surprise. I like how the marble gathers the light and focuses it, creating dark space where light would have shown, where it not interrupted by fused sand. The brightness of the starburst is fascinating.

I have a 3M PostIt note upon which I scribbled inky blackness with a Sharpie (I'm all about trade-names!). This little 3x3-inch square of night became the background for a couple experiments. I like it because it's dark, yet textured, and flat. And tiny.

I would never shoot these things if I didn't constantly challenge myself to turn mundane stuff into intersting pictures. I apologize for subjecting you to them. If you like it, though, I offer no such apologies. Just enjoy!
